The '''Cylon Civil War''' is a conflict between two factions of [[humanoid Cylon]]s. One faction consists of the [[Number One]]s, the [[Number Four]]s, the [[Number Five]]s, and the [[Number Eight]] copy known as [[Sharon Valerii]], under the leadership of the Number One copy known as Cavil. The opposition, known as the rebel faction, consists of the [[Number Two]]s, the [[Number Six]]es, several Centurions with restored free will, and the majority of the [[Number Eight]]s, under the leadership of the Number Six copy known as [[Natalie]]. Natalie is later slain, and leadership of the rebels is taken up by the restored [[Number Three]] copy known as [[Number Three (Downloaded copy)|D'Anna]] until she elects to remain behind on [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] for the rest of her days.  The only real battle of the war is the [[Battle of the Resurrection Hub]], where the [[Rebel basestar]] goes after the [[Resurrection Hub]], but some of Rebel Cylons aid ''Galactica'' in the [[Battle of The Colony]].  That battle is the end of both wars as Cavil's faction is destroyed by ''Galactica'' and her forces in the battle.  During the war, Cavil's faction controls pretty much all of the Cylons resources including all the [[Resurrection Ship]]s, the [[Resurrection Hub]] and [[The Colony]].  The Rebels are unable to resurrect due to this and have to team up with ''Galactica''{{'|s}} forces just to attack and access the [[Resurrection Hub]] as all of their Raiders were destroyed at the beginning, although at least 25 Heavy Raiders survived.  All that the rebel faction controlled was the [[Rebel basestar]] and what resources they had on that.  Thanks to the destruction of Cavil's faction by ''Galactica'' during the final battle, the victor in the war is the Colonials and the rebel faction.

When Felix Gaeta leads a mutiny aboard ''Galactica'', the Cylons support Admiral Adama and President Roslin.  Tyrol somehow manages to communicate with them undetected by CIC and has them send a Raptor to extract Baltar, Roslin, Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] and Admiral Adama using a forgotten secondary storage airlock.  Roslin and Baltar leave, but Tigh and Adama stay behind to make sure the President's Raptor gets out safely {{TRS|The Oath}}.

Gaeta orders the Vipers on CAP to destroy the Raptor, and Narcho tries to take it out with a missile, but it misses and hits the baseship, causing the Cylons to think they're under attack.  Aboard the baseship, Roslin defuses the situation, citing Hotdog's refusal to shoot as proof that the Fleet is not solidly behind the mutiny, and urging the Cylons to stay put and give Adama a chance to save the Final Four still in the Fleet.  While Roslin attempts to broadcast to the Fleet using the Raptor's wireless, the Cylons note among themselves that the Fleet has dispersed and left them vulnerable, and Viper patrols are acting aggressively, trying to provoke a response.  After discussing the situation they tell Roslin they have decided to jump away, but Roslin argues they should give Adama a chance and show that they are with him and the Fleet.  With the help of a Number Two, she succeeds in penetrating ''Galactica''{{'|s}} jamming long enough to make a transmission to inform the Fleet of the mutiny aboard ''Galactica'' and persuade ten ships to spin down their FTL drives.  She then broadcasts orders to the mutineers to release their prisoners, return command of the Fleet to Admiral Adama, and surrender.  When Tom Zarek responds as President of the Twelve Colonies and says that Admiral Adama and Colonel Tigh are dead, she has the Cylon baseship turn its weapons on ''Galactica''.  Gaeta orders ''Galactica'' and its allied ships to to jump away, not wanting anymore bloodshed, but Tyrol disables ''Galactica''{{'|s}} FTL seconds before the jump is initiated.  On the brink of a shooting war between the baseship and ''Galactica'', Gaeta orders weapons hold just before the CIC is retaken by Adama and his supporters.  Adama then contacts the President to inform her and the Cylons that ''Galactica'' is secured and to stand down.  Gaeta and Zarek are later executed for their actions and the rest of the mutineers are jailed {{TRS|Blood on the Scales}}.

In fulfillment of the deal brokered by Tyrol, the Cylon rebels are granted a seat in the Quorum of ships' captains and elect a representative, a Number Six named Sonja.  While meeting with Admiral Adama, President Roslin, Lee Adama, and Galen Tyrol, Sonja informs them that when the Quorum convenes, she intends to formally request they hand over Sharon Valerii, who returned to the Fleet with Final Five Cylon [[Ellen Tigh]], so that she can tried for treason.  It is unknown whether or not the Cylons have been upgrading the Colonial FTL drives as part of the deal yet or not {{TRS|Someone to Watch Over Me}}.
